Patent EP-0366128-A1 (EP)
Inventor: POERTZGEN GREGOR
IPC: F16F9/00
Filed: 1989-10-25
Abstract: According to an illustrative example of the invention, a gas spring (10) has adjacent one end thereof an axially extending control pin (26). This control pin (26) is prestressed towards an outer position and can be pushed inwards for opening a valve,which valve is provided in the passage between two working chambers (18, 20) established by a piston (16), said piston being fixed to a piston rod (14). When the pin (26) is in its outward position, the gas spring (10) is locked in the respective axial length. When the control pin (26) is moved inwards, the axial length of the gas spring can be varied. The gas spring (10) is intended for combination with a chair or table column. In combining the gas spring with a chair, the upper end of the gas spring (10) cylinder is fixed to the lower side of the seat plate (34). The lower side of the seat plate is provided with a manipulating lever (40). The manipulating lever (40) engages the outer end of the control pin through a telescopic arrangement of control members (52, 54, 56). These control members can be adjusted with respect to each other in axial direction by axial movement without relative rotation during the axial movement. After the correct length of the telescopic arrangement has been adjusted, the telescopic members are fixed with respect to each other.

Abstract: L'enchevêtrement d'adresses dans un système à processeurs parallèles utilisant un espace mémoire commun (15) est géré par l'établissement pour chaque processeur d'un tableau de l'état de blocage du système. Lorsqu'un processeur cherche à initier une transaction, cette transaction est analysée par comparaison avec le tableau de l'état de blocage (31), et la demande d'accès du processeur à un bus d'intercommunication n'est transmise que lorsque l'état de blocage du système permet de traiter la transaction. Le contrôle et l'analyse des transactions du bus permettent de maintenir à jour le tableau de l'état de blocage (31) de chaque processeur. Ainsi, grâce au blocage d'une transaction mettant en jeu une adresse verrouillée avant que le bus n'ait fait l'objet d'une demande d'accès, on évite la mobilisation du bus pour des activités futiles.

Abstract: La présente invention décrit une nouvelle méthodologie et une nouvelle composition d'essai pour déterminer la présence de théophylline dans des échantillons d'essai. Cette méthodologie fait appel à des enzymes qui mettent en oeuvre ou reconnaissent la théophylline sous forme d'un substrat pour mesurer la concentration de cette dernière dans des échantillons, y compris des fluides corporels. Cette nouvelle approche fait appel à des enzymes par opposition aux méthodes classiques utilisant des anticorps pour reconnaître la théophylline. Cette méthode enzymatique de dosage de la théophylline est rapide, simple et commode et permet de réaliser des systèmes d'essai dans des formats de chimie par voie liquide ainsi que par voie sèche. On peut utiliser divers protocoles, systèmes ou méthodologies pour effectuer des analyses et rappporter les résultats à la quantité de théophylline présente.

Abstract: Preferred silver contact materials are silver/nickel and silver/tin oxide alloys. In the case of silver/nickel, alloys of 10% and 40% by weight are used. In the case of silver/tin oxide alloys, tin oxide proportions of between 8% and 12% by weight have proved advantageous.   The object of the invention is to provide a silver contact material which is easy to produce and readily deformed and for which attention does not have to be paid to the polarity. This is achieved by a silver alloy containing nickel and tin oxide alloy constituents.

A plastic film 15 is sealed about the opening and is stretchable to form a pouch for receiving an item to be stored in the package. To form the package, the plastic film is heated and stretched about the item and the cardboard sheet is folded over and sealed together. Prior to forming the package, a pair of opposing cuts 16 are formed in the edges of the film, the cuts facilitating tearing of the film when it is desired to open the package. To further facilitate opening, indicia 20 can be placed on the edges of the cardboard sheet to indicate the point at which tearing is easiest, or notches 21 can be cut in one side of the sheet.

Abstract: Optimum routing for communications between a central control unit (CCU) and remote units (nodes), such as electricity meters, distributed on an electrical power line is established by broadcasting from the CCU an interrogation signal to be received by the remote units. In response to a receipt of the interrogation signal, each remote unit returns an acknowledgement signal, time multiplexed with the acknowledgement signals of the other remote units, to the CCU which determines which units, if any, are "mute", i.e., have not acknowledged. The CCU then selects remote units in proximity to the mute remote units if it has already a good knowledge of the network or at random otherwise, to function as relays and repeats interrogation of the remote units via the relays. This process is repeated, if necessary, until communication paths between the CCU and all remote units are established directly or via relay units, to form maps. Numerous maps developed for the nodes during various time periods having different power line interference characteristics are stored in a data base to be accessed by the CCU to quickly establish an optimum route during subsequent periods having similar line interference characteristics.
